Phelps is widely believed to be some kind of nut, but within a small circle of extremist Christians, his word is almost Revelation itself. Known for his claims to know what God hates, now he has a clear list of sins that people can read for themselves.

Now the faithful can skip Bible reading, liturgical classes, and sermons delivered by ape-shit crazyReverend Phelps himself, with a guarantee of going to Heaven, or at least, avoiding Hell.

Cult followers did ask about the de-emphasis on the evils of homosexuality, since gays have been the main target of Phelps hatred, and have been since he began his career of haranguing random people who could give a shit what the crazy old thinks. "The List is the list", said Phelps to his supporters. "God told me what's on the list, and I wrote it down. It's simple. that's all there is to it."
